First Outdoor Lakefront Run of the Year
Last night Jay and I ran along the lakefront. It was my first time running by the lake this year and my first outdoor 5 miler since... well, a while.Distance: 5 miles
Time: 46:05
Average Pace: 9:13/mile
We both ran a good pace, but I felt exhausted at the end. I'm still a bit out of shape and I still have a ways to go if I want to beat my 8K PR at the Shamrock.
Last summer Jay and I met weekly for medium-distance runs, followed by dinner and drinks at Twisted Spoke. It's a tradition I hope we can keep going again the rest of this year.. even though there are some big changes coming. (Watch this space for future details.)Two whiskeys and a buffalo chicken sandwich were all that it took for me to be passing out on the train. I even slept through my stop and had to get off at the next one to take another train back!
Hopefully after a few more of these outdoor 5 milers I wont fall asleep so easily afterwards.

Sounds like a great run. Looking at your map reminds me so much of running the marathon last year there. I'm so jealous you have that wonderful lakefront path to use anytime you want.
Nice...I always used to fear potentially falling asleep on the bus going home...now I don't even have the option of the bus after a couple of drinks. Stupid Twin Cities with it's lack of public transportation to the burbs (and I'm in a first tier suburb!!)
